Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the boundary between 15-1244 (Network/Systems Administration) and 15-1252 (Software Developers): the primary day-to-day work is designing and operating large-scale data center networks, which maps to 15-1244, but the automation pipeline development requirement (Python, Ansible) adds a meaningful software-engineering dimension. 15-1244 was chosen because network design, deployment, and operations are clearly the dominant function.
